A research on some 6 month old babies showed that how the babies were excited when they saw an interactive tablet in con-trast to when they saw a magazine. The magazine felt boring to them but the tablet seemed much more involving and fun!

existing scenarioThe study (discussed) revealed the scope of interaction design in near future and how people feel better when a device interacts with them.

The next era is going to be the era of interaction design, where digitalisation mat-ters a lot.

The problem is that a person faces a lot of di�culty in writing and making illustra-tions digitally. The reason behind is that he’s not comfortable in holding stylus and digitalise the things which comes into his mind.

Some applications already exist in the market revolving around the idea of cursive handwriting, but they are no fun and their interface includes writing of single let-ters.
